Are things about the same with the poor neighbor?

If you have a HOA, and live in the city, how do you have chickens? I wouldn't think that would fly with either. We have a HOA, but are not in a city and we are wanting to have a few chickens, but have not approached the HOA yet.

Right now I’m looking for some plants to put in my new pot that I bought on sale yesterday. It was a $90 pot that I got for $22 on close out. It is a large clay and fiberglass pot that looks like it was squished on one side so that it lays on it’s side. The intention is that you fill it with dirt and then let the flowers/plants spill out the side so that it looks like it was tipped over by accident. I am looking for something bold that is also deer resistent and drought resistent would be nice. Anything come to mind? I was intending to plant a day lily there, but the thought came to mind that to try to make a day lily grow sideways probably wouldn’t be too successful.

The above was my plea for suggestions as to what to plant in my squished, sideways pot out by the swing. I got only nasturtiums as a suggestion and didn't think they would grow fast enough. Yesterday I came home from the nursery around the corner with 4 gazanias and 2 sweet potato vines and planted them last night in 3 cu. feet of potting mix. They look[ed] good, but now I can sit at my back window with binoculars and watch a family of rabbits chomping on them. Salad bar for rabbits. **sigh**

We have a Neighborhood Association, not an HOA....ihn any case our City has a generous “urban livestock” Ordinance that allows 5 laying hens (no roosters)...
